Kerzner operates a sister Atlantis hotel in the Bahamas, which has reported a drop in occupancy and employee layoffs.

Dubai’s Atlantis is safe for now, lying on the manmade oasis of Palm Jumeirah — one of three palm-shaped islands. Its 43-km (26.7 miles) shoreline was lit up entirely by a Grucci fireworks display.

Bollywood thesp Priyanka Chopra donned a crown as Goddess of Atlantis to open the fireworks feast. Kylie Minogue performed a 10-minute, according to local reports. Sam Ronson, accompanying Lindsay Lohan, spun music for the rest of the night.
